Michael Ring (Mayo, Fine Gael)

I will write to the Ceann Comhairle's office. On drugs, there is no point appointing Ministers of State if I write to the Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs and am told it is the responsibility of the Departments of Justice, Equality and Law Reform and Health and Children. There is no point in having a Minister of State in the Department who cannot answer the question on drugs.
